That is exactly what it is. THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHOAD!!!
Does anyone know what the stock symbol is for the Japan Holder which correlates with the Nikkie index? I vaguely remember it trades on the NASDAQ. I have been searching it but to no avail. Thank you very much.
uhhh, that is why you are the sage and I am the student<g>...
Ok, don't want to cluster the board, back to deep lurking.
Zeev, there was another reason I shun away from play TASR after I sold it at 24 last year. I did an IPO search, and TASR was brought to the market by Paulson Securities, a dubious IB house for sure, most of Paulson's crap IPOs end up like crap, so I didn't muster guts to play it ever since.
I totally agree with your comment on TASR. It is making money, sure, but the valuation and pumping shenanegians are too brazen.
Only one thing I suspect that TASR might go to 120 before it flames out, if it goes over 100 decidedly. I remember Jesse Livermore in his book mentioned when a "hot" stock goes over 100, usually the ticker does not rest on 100, but will go another 15 or 20 points. So shorts beware...
I don't play TASR, and this POS will one day take on the chin. The mere look of its chart make me dizzy, can't play this kind of mo-mo<g>.
Back to work and lurking.
That is nothing, last year I bought TASR at 20ish, sold at 24, and thought, 25% gain, not bad. Then the rest is history. I knew people got totally exterminated by TASR, the horror stories of shorts getting killed by TASR can be summarized into an encyclopaedia. One dude shorted tasr from 10 split ajusted. Ouch<g>. JUST SIMPLY UNREAL...
I know my limitation, never dared to play TASR, yeah, I am a chicken. ONLY Zeev can play the taser gun and prosper. Only Zeev.
I started to have a feeling that HAUP may be in the process of doing a mini TASR.
Never short a strong stock, no matter how overvalued it is. Scam stock like KTEL could go from 1 to 78 to bankruptcy, but got yours truly's brokerage account liquidated<g, ng>. I learned my lesson about shorting 7 years ago.
Back to work and lurking.
Holly,
For heaven's sake, can you limit your question session to Zeev to about one per day??? It is getting truly excessive and annoying. The guy probably have like 30 peopple constantly asking him this and that? Can we all give Mr. Hed a bit breathing time?
What is the benefit of asking Zeev about HAUP every freaking hour?? If you are so obssessed with it, you probably should not even play it. What if HAUP takes a nose dive, I suspect Zeev's ankle will be bleeding...
I have known Zeev for four years, and I still feel guilty asking him question every three months. Let's give the old sage a bit relaxing time, and do search on our own behalf.
What a group of classy guys here on this board. DlphcOrcl, you, Zeev and others took time and wrote very helpful messages just out of friendship and caring. Bravo...
I have no one to thank but your turnips. Thanks Zeev. I am not going to say more lest considered flattery. You know me...
Have a good evening.
Zeev, I am sticking my head out here, and making myself a fool, but I think the bottom is in (at least for NAZ). If not, I still have a sizeable cash position to put into use. Ever year, I capitulated near the bottom(within 20 points of the nadir, sometimes within an hour of the nadir such as april 2001 and oct 2002, despite your urging to hold on, duh.), it made me sick. But this year, I waited patiently from 2160 to 1928, so for me, I am happy to just committed about 70 percent cash into funds. We will see, I hope this will not jink the forcast...You know how bad my forecast is..
If 1887 comes, I will keep adding the funds until I am 100% invested. if not, so be it. Too bad I can't have time to watch the market like I used to be(maybe a better change).
BTW, that turnips forcast is simply awesome, just like it's been since day one.
Cheers.
Zeev, P/C ratio over 1.3, equity P/C ratio over 1 on a strong up day today. Kinda weird, you think? Maybe we just might have already reached the March bottom?
I hope it is not the bottom, I still have tons of cash to deploy, can't follow the market everyday...
Cheers.
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know a website that offer free information that tracks insider trading (buy/selling)? I used to have one at Thomson Financials, but it is no longer working. I would appreciate if you have a website where daily buying and selling of company stocks by insiders are disclosed.
Thank you for your help!
My admiration of you has been tremendously augumented. You are a true gentleman.
I know, I dropped the ball on CYMI by selling too early. My question is, why you play GNSS which is already up 300%, instead of holding it all the way from 6 to, say 15?
I am not trying to pick on your trade because I know you made a ton on GNSS. Just to understand the rationale becaseu I remember you got in GNSS at a very low price. Seems to me that a swing trade will yield a hell of higher gain that these kind of daily raids.
Same with CYMI and ELX, because you almost always got in at THE lows, but also seemed to sell too early.
I totally agree. A lot of stocks I follow have charts with more holes than a chunk of swiss cheese. But when the criminals want to rally, they will do so regardless.
This market turns out to be just like last year, but with even worse volume and breath.
I may sell my last 10% 401(k) equity fund if we reaches 1500. Then I will be gone so to concentrate on my business.
I am really itching of shorting BRCM and CYMI here. But I will give them till next week before I consider the darkside option.
Zeev, in you expert TA, how high can CYMI and BRCM go? I don't want to short them prematurely. I am patient now<g>, because I am not on the train<ng>.
the lack of a solid base in which the "powers" accumulated lead me to believe that this will be a pyrrhic victory ...
Is it possible that the "powers" actually accumulated enough already using October bottom? i.e., they saw the August rally, but they managed to bring the NAZ back down to 1100 in October for a re-test and then accumulated an outragous amount of inventory to sell to the public right now?
Just speculation here by thinking out loud.
But I do agree with you, this will end up badly.
Because as long as they don't warn, it will give the criminals another reason to run the NAZ?!<g> I just looked upsome SOX stocks. Haha, I think they will be great shorts next year in early spring. (No, I have no intention to short them right now, but I might go into the darkside next spring if the SOX keeps behaving like this). It's all about timing, isn't it? <g>.
Thanks tarodo. I was de-spirited by OMG so much, I refused to even look at that POS anymore<g,ng>. Out of the 20-30 stocks I played during the past 40 days, only this one went nuclear in front of my face. If I had stuck with any of my usual suspects, I would have been so much better off. And I was so confident about OMG all along, go figure<g>.
Should have be more aggressive buying the small pullbacks. I was in high cash, waiting for Zeev's call of a more meaningful pullbacks without success. I still pray that NAZ can go back to 1350/1300 area, I will be re-loading for another short-term run.
But if this market keeps going up to 1500/1600, I will be sitting out because I suspect next year, after March 2003, the market will pay the price for the irrationalities we have been witnessing so far. Criminals surely know how to jack up the indices.
Feels like last year, doesn't it<g>. Choose the horse wisely, don't be like me who chose poorly, instead of keeping riding my SWKS, CMVT, NTAP,CNXT, I chose OMG and fell into a hellhole<huge sigh>.
Good night.
Bullish or bearish I know not, but one thing I know is, the NAZ chart looks very bullish to me. Seems that we are consolidate near the highs for another explosion to the upside. Too bad I am too high in cash, waiting IN VAIN for a meaningful pullback. I mentioned several times that I had grave doubt that 1200 would be reached on the pull back, I was more rooted for a 1350/1300 area. Even that is NOT attainable right now.
To make things worse, I had a huge haircut capitulation yesterday on that f.ed up OMG POS!!!
I suspect that NAZ will be much higher by Jan. Am I bullish long term? Hell no. But I tell ya, short-term this thing can explode...without me on the train of course.
Fark that OMG<nnnng>!
Paul, thank you for the note, well said. I got greedy, and you know the market has the real magic of kicking greedy bastards in the ass<G, NG>. Anyway, I will be very careful from now on.
Good night everyone. Time to go.
No more OMG for me. Enough is enough. All my projections, whether it was AMCC, SUNW, SKWS, CIEN, CNXT, TLAB, all pretty much behaved as I expected. The only GRAVE miscaculation is OMG. I thought 5 was dirt cheap, by instead, I got dirt kicked into my eyes. Really pissed off here.
I am going to play with something I am more familar with. NO MORE FALLING KNIVES.<ng>
I guess that is the difference between a great trader vs a dumbass. You made a lot of dough out of OMG, while I was yelling Oh My God!!!
The only consoluation is PCYC, up 10% from my buy, and I got AMCC hit my limit buy order at 3.75. Have to re-do some trade to get me into the profit zone.
The only problem is I don't know where the hell OMG's real low is, so I have to set up a stop loss. Now I am out of this f-loser, I wish you have all the fun trading it. It is a goner for me and I don't care about it.
Should have held my ITWO <ng>, up another 40% during the past two days while I was out...
Just got a chance to look at the market, was out yesterday and today. Sadly to report, I capitulated on the stop loss order of all my remaining OMG at 4.69 which I set up last week. FARK IT!!!! Sorry if I sound irratated, I am extremely pissed off by myself.
Although I am a lousy trader, but from Oct 10 till now, I really did not encounter any real loss except this goddamned POS known as OMG. Wiped out almost all of my profit I got from other stocks. Last year I lost my profit and capital by shorting. This year, I was extremely careful not to short, but lost my profit by catching falling knives.
A REMINDER TO THE THREAD, as I regard everyone here as my friend, DO NOT CATCH FALLING KNIFE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't care how undervalued OMG is, the point is, I lost my ass on this POS. If it goes to 0 or 100, I don't give a damn. So farking utterly disgusted by this loser! If I use the capital to buy any of my regular stocks, I would have been way better off. Oh the pain....
Bottomline, no falling knives for me anymore, unless I can trade like you Zeev, but well, I know I am not you <g><ng>.
I am out of here. Good luck everyone.
What about CYMI and BRCM? How high can these POS go? I almost went short them near the close, but had to bump my head against the wall to remind me to no do that, knowing too well that criminals likely will push them higher.
Do you still have the CYMI ob at 22 and BRCM at 10.11?? Cymi should be at 11 and BRCM should be at 5, according to my value book<gg>. But again, I refrain from shorting.
BTW, my pcyc is up 10% from my buy. I thought this loser will never see 3 again<g>. I think this one is going higher.
Just like last year, Zeev....
Insanity rules. I am not sure about a cyclical move anymore if we go higher without any meaningful pullback.
Criminals are going gun-ho's here. I am sleep with cash and happy. Sure, I missed getting back in, but if last November is any indication of similarity, I don't worry about missing anything.
Will the naz go higher? Possible. Will it stay high next year, I no longer bet on it.
Paul A, I must wrote that in haste. No, on the countray, I am long term bearish. I have no problem with shorts whatsoever, as a matter of fact, I ALMOST shorted the market today, because I believe it is PAINTING at the grand scale. As I said yesterday, no health pullbacks will make me drop the cyclical bull scenario, and I am afraid next year after Jan/Feb things won't be too pretty with this kind of mo-mo insanity.
But I do believe the criminals want to jack this market up to make some inexperience hedgie fund manager to cover at the very top next week or in the next months.
Hell, I think the market will eventaully go to 700. Actually I am getting more and more bearish because this market is setting up for a nasty fall in the not-too-distant future.
I just want to hammer the sox crap into pieces, that's how much I hate the paints.
But criminals will do what they will do, so I won't be surprised to see 1500 taken. Am I happy, NO. Because it is not a healthy market.
I hope I make myself clear. Sorry for the confusion.
In edit, I switched back to 80% cash in my 401k, that's a sign that I am not that bullish at all. If the market had dropped to at least 1270 area, and consolidated for a week or so, I would have been MUCH MORE BULLISH. Right now, criminals run the show.
If NAZ turned down from you, I would be truly amazed. Fake or not, Zeev, criminals and dumbass hedge funds managers who betted the market going down are covering like no tomorrow. I still think this market will go higher, but we WILL pay the price later for this kind of irrationality.
I am fairly confident we will see 1500 next week if not by next Tuesday. But am I happy? hell no! This kind of ramp job without a good pullback and consolidation, will eventually produce bitter taste...
Despite SOX are on viagra, I start to feel next year it will be stink sox again.
I am trying to hold back my fingers from shorting POS sox stocks. I have the dicipline, "I shalt not short"...
I just found out my limit order for PCYC at 2.84 got filled again this morning in my absence. COOL.
I don't want to look at the stock market, most of my sales turns out to be premature, again!
CMVT!! I played it for 30 times for miserablly 0.2 or 0.3 points, sold it 8.15 three days ago, and now it is 2 whole points higher. I am a loser, totally useless. Always sell for small profit, right before the big jump, just like SWKS, BEAS, NTAP etc.
Is the NAZ going to 3000??!! Missed the morning entries because I was away, only got EXTR at 4.57.<ng>
SOX is again sadiastic.
Just got a confirmation, sold AH EXTR 4.96, dinner money is on the table. I will be baaack<gg>. Good night.
I often use computer 25 hours a day, sometimes even on the road with my ipaq and another palm pilot because I travel a lot. I can tell you Expedia is a neat website. Heck, it is overvalued maybe, but it's website is well run. I bought most of my tickets from Expedia and saved some money along the way.
This, of course, is in no way an endorsement of EXPE. I never traded this stock before, and don't plan to. Zeev is the master of this. I usually hate playing high-short-ratio stocks. Some of Zeev's play, PDII, IMCL, GNSS, NVDA all imploded during the past several months, and the short ratio of those POS were very high. I remember I pointed out several times to Zeev, but, he still managed to make money<ggg>. He is amazing.
deleted.
Zeev, I agree TOTALLY. If the criminals keep rally this market with no meaningful pullback, then I will not be a pig waiting for that cyclical bull move next year.
Feel eeriely like last year, so frothy and nose-bleeding, and what happened, yeah, a string of massacres as gifts to the longs(yeah, me included).
If they keep rally it, I will kept selling stuff, and will be cash no later than Jan 31. After three years, I can finally HAPPILY sleep with cash and not worry about missing a rally.
Is it just me, or someone want to use a hammer and pound the crap out of sox??? I think some shorts lost their shirts by wearing short socks.
Zeev, realistically, how high can SOX go? I have NO position in any of them. Waiting for a freaking month to get back in, except the CYMI 2.5 points gain AH play, never really got the chance.
Now CYMI VSEA, KLAC, NVLS, CCMP etc are looking like they gonna spike to the moon....
Oh well. I would have shorted them, but I have the discipline this time, NO SHORTS FOR ME....
Any other areas that have not really rallied much, IYTO, are going to rally more?
I did buy back EXTR at 4.75 just now. I suspect SUNW will go to 4.8 or 5, but missed it yesterday for a few penny above my limited buy order.
This market is simply amazing.
Ok, Zeev, I don't want to be a pig here, just switched back half of the equity into Fido Retirement money market. My cash level is again 80%. Got to have some profit while I have the chance.
Now I bet the rally going up more<ggg>.
I am fairly sure that NAZ 1500 is coming soon to a store near you. At least I was not bearish when we touched 1425 last week, and had been using pullbacks to get back in. I am very happy that the 401(k)switch is paying very well so far. Yeah, I am a clown long, but no long enough as I wished because I was out yesterday...
That's why stinky SOX can be so resilient. AMAT earning is right with my suspicion. But hey, that is a BIG reason to rally these POS crap.
Zeev, you now can kiss that CYMI $22 OB goodbye<gg>. Yeah, I am so sure that I will not lose this bet this time, despite the fact I hate SOX guts!!!
Just got a chance to see the market, was out yesterday and today. What the heck, another rally??!! Just as I suspected, pullbacks are shallow, and rally here we go. Too bad I sold most of my trader stocks on Tuesdsay, and now CIEN is 30% over my sales<gg>.
SOX is on viagra....
I am debating myself, should I move some 401k equity fund back to cash here or keep holding on? I am fairly sure that I will have a very nice gain in my funds today.
My guts telling me we rally more, but one bird in hand, better than two birds in the bush??
I did sell some BRCD at 6.48 and EXTR 5.15, becasue they reached my limit sell orders while I was away.
I find that's hard to believe. Misheldo has been following you for so long, he would have at least picked up some turnips calls, especially the Nassacre calls you yelled at top of your lung. Strange. Is it possible that M. Johnson using Misheldo's handle?<gg>.
I still owe you the bet on CYMI, at least I will honor it before December 31. I need to take a look of my tax situation to see how much I can give to MVHA. This year is a lean year<ggg>. Naz, please go to 2000 so I can have money to donate, HA!
